Hey, you just think of each layer as a little valley on a map. When you spread moss, let it sit on a flat base, then pause. If the next leaf layer feels like it’s intruding into the moss valley, step back and place a faint line of ground color to keep the border. The quiet harmony comes when each layer’s edge feels like a natural contour, not a hard cut. Keep your brush count low—use the old, worn one for the edges; it gives that subtle, unsharpened feel. When you’re sure a layer is settled, lock it mentally before you open the next. That way the layers protect themselves, and the whole landscape stays calm.

Glad it resonates. Remember, the quieter the brush, the calmer the line. Keep listening to the landscape, not the brush. Happy mapping.
